A MOBILE PAINTING STUDIO THAT SETS-UP A COLLABORATIVE MURAL ACTIVITY FOR YOUR TEAM. YOU GET A TURN-KEY EVENT IN A PROTECTED SPACE AND A COLOURFUL WORK OF ART TO ADD TO YOUR OFFICE DECOR!

FOUR ACTIVITY OPTIONS

FOUR ACTIVITY OPTIONS

THIS IS OUR PAINT PARTY OPTION WHERE A 16X20 INCH PAINTING IS CHOSEN TO BE COPIED, STEP BY STEP WITH AN EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTOR. EVERYONE LEAVES WITH THEIR OWN WORK OF ART!

A PREPARED, BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE IS ENLARGED, BROKEN INTO 16X20" CANVAS SIZED PORTIONS AND EVERYONE GETS A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE ALONG WITH A COLOUR VERSION OF THEIR SECTION. AT THE END OF THE ACTIVITY THE MURAL IS ASSEMBLED FOR LATER HANGING IN THE OFFICE AS THE PERFECT TEAM BUILDING METAPHOR.

EVERYONE INSTINCTIVELY UNDERSTANDS THIS ACTIVITY.

ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE GIVEN PRE-MIXED PAINT WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE DIFFERENT SHAPES ON THEIR 16X20 INCH PORTIONS OF THE LARGER, COLLABORATIVE MURAL.

THIS PROJECT OPTION OFFERS THE BEST RESULT FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT!

GIVE YOUR TEAM AND EASY "WIN" WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

BASICALLY IT'S OUR PAINT BY SHAPE CONCEPT WHERE AN IMAGE IS SIMPLIFIED, ENLARGED AND THEN DIVIDED INTO 16X20 INCH CANVAS PORTIONS.

PRE-MIXED PAINTS ARE AN ADD-ON OPTION AND ARE RECOMMENDED AS EVEN A FEW SIMILAR COLOURS WILL HELP BRING TOGETHER THE DIFFERENT CANVASES ONCE THE PIECES ARE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER AT THE END OF THE ACTIVITY.

THIS IS PRICED THE SAME AS THE PAINT BY SHAPE OPTION BUT WITH A 15% SURCHARGE.

OUR SERVICES

TURN KEY ACTIVITY

We provide drop sheets and plastic for your space, aprons for your participants along with brushes, canvases, unlimited paint, and inspiration. We set-up, tear-down and packaway. 45 min after everyone’s brushes are down we’ve exited through the backdoor leaving nothing but a tote bin with your finished project inside.

WE USE THE PAINT BY NUMBER SYSTEM

Our finished murals look great because we take out the guess work as participants follow along filling in the blank shapes.

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS

We take a JUMBO image of your choice, then divide it up into 16×20 inch black and white canvases. Everyone gets a piece of the puzzle and a colour version to work from. At the end of the event the mural is assembled and everyone gets to see their place in the bigger picture!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Our department really enjoyed the teambuilding activity that Art Factory facilitated for us. They were able to work directly with the venue and interacted with our team members to put on a really fun event for us. It was run very smoothly and I would recommend this to anyone looking for something different, especially in the indoor months.

Andrea Magee, Bayer

It was a great team Building activity. The works are already hanging in offices across Ontario and will stay there as a memory forever.
Everyone had a great time..would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something different!

Thanks Art Factory for one of our most successful summer staff events yet!

Kourtney R, Straticom

I highly enjoyed it and received great feedback from the group – I think everyone had a fun time. It was appreciated that you were flexible and did the whole thing from set up to tear down with not a lot of lead time.

COME TO US OR WE COME TO YOU

ONE WEEK PRIOR

The final image for either the Collaborative Mural or the Painting to be copied by your group has been made. The full amount of the invoice is due.

ONE DAY PRIOR

Final confirmation on the hour that you’d like to see everyone pick-up their brushes and start painting is made.

EVENT BEGINS

-01:00 An instructor and any assistants have arrived an hour prior with their duffle bags of supplies and are being shown the room they’ll set up in. Each “table settings” has been arranged. Everyone includes a small table top easel, a palette of paint, brushes, apron, water and of course a 16x20inch canvas along with a colour handout or “tip sheet”.

00:00 Generally the first drink order of the night is made and everyone begins moving around the room. All participants are wearing their apron and have found a seat and a canvas to call their own. Introductions and a brief talk about the activity is given.

00:15 Brushes up! Painting begins starting with the big colours ( most prevalent ) and using the big brushes ( the right tool for the job, just like at work ).

01:00 At the half way mark all finger food trays or other menu items have been delivered and people are encouraged to take a break.

01:15 We resume in 10-15 minutes once everyone has had a chance to walk around and see what their friends have accomplished or found a neighbouring canvas so they work collaboratively.

01:45 In the last 15 minutes, as people complete their canvases we begin assembling the Collaborative Murals projects for the big reveal.

2:00 Audible gasps and congratulations are spread all round when they see what they’ve done together and everyone gathers for pics to accompany the perfect social media posts. Those who are doing the Paint Party activity also get together for group photos

ONE HOUR AFTER

If a mural was the finished project then all the pieces have dried and are back in the included rubber storage bin for transportation to your office. Each canvas was earlier wired on the back for easy installation onto a wall. If it was a Paint Party then the individual canvases have all been placed onto a plastic sheet for drying and will be ready for pick-up at the end of the day. The Art Factory team has left with all their art supplies and any rubbish leaving no trace they were there but fun memories and drying canvases. Group pictures are posted to all the social media sites and your team’s smiling faces do the rounds on the interwebs.

ONE WEEK AFTER

The plastic Art Factory bin with your team’s mural is now sitting empty in your office after the canvases have all been assembled together on the wall. Participants gather round for photos of the impressive installation. People who weren’t present at the event wonder why they missed it. A new facet to the office decor has been introduced and becomes part of the team’s shared history. Other events come and go but you’ll catch people regularly staring at the mural they made together thinking of the event you organized and like all memories, they’ll think of it fondly as the years go by.

TAKE HOME KIT

Like a take-out diner, this option lets you order your project ahead of time and complete it at your leisure. The art supplies are included from the paint to the brushes to the drop sheets plus each customized canvas as well, all wired and ready for hanging when done.
